Emma's Lake Placid Creamery

100% worth it despite chilly, windy day with snow on the ground, town full of people attending the eclipse and a line that starts outside and doubled inside the small shop. Advantage of standing in line allows you to view many of the options available that people were ordering. Some of it honestly looks like delicious art work and I wanted to sample all of them.😋😄 In addition to ice cream they sell, slices of cheesecake, ice cream cakes, mochi, Whoopi pies and other items. There are also some novelty items and sweet treats for sale. Not ideal for disabled using transport devices. Parking is available on the street. Those serving were notably calm, unstressed and methodically gave each order individual attention. Don't think about the calories 🫤 Be sure to stop in to satisfy your sweet tooth. You will be not be disappointed.

There was a line of people waiting for the 1:00 pm opening time. The 2 staff members quickly and efficiently filled all the orders. The maple creme soft serve is divine. For a fun time, try to sit at one of the tables in the window and watch all the fabulous ice cream creations get delivered. It's joyful for each person.

Testy ice creams and great service, best ice cream in town! We walked in before watching the movie, the lady at register was so nice, telling a lot about town and coming event, we got two ice creams and a monkey tail. So GOOD, will come back next time to try more

We LOVE coming to Lake Placid for icecream! This is the cutest place, they are always friendly. There's usually a crowd, but a crowd of happy people getting icecream!

No trip to Lake Placid is complete without a stop at Emma's. The selection of flavors and sundaes is top notch. Highly recommend the Maple Cream, an Adirondack specialty.

WOW. This is a regular sundae! HUGE and delicious!! All for only $10.24!

This’s their Maple Monkey sundae; maple soft serve, vanilla soft serve, local maple syrup, caramel, with fresh, hot monkey bread below! Fudge below that. So big it comes with a fork & spoon. Friendly advice; bring a friend (or two).

Very friendly staff, really cool decor, LOTS of choices!

This place was DELICIOUS. After having terrible food on the strip, this was definitely a delight. I got the black diamond (hot fudge and hot caramel sundae) with caramel toffee ice cream and it was absolutely superb. I finished the entire thing. My boyfriend had moose tracks in a waffle bowl and it was awesome as well!! Overall prices and atmosphere were great. If you're going, don't expect a place to sit because the place is super small, so plan to eat it outside. The staff were incredibly friendly. Great place!

Stopped in with my wife for a cone. First time here. Didn't see much hard ice cream that looked good to me. Went with the chocolate moose bits. A nice lady there said it was the best and I'd love it. I told her we'll see what I think when I post this review. Turns out she was right. Five star ice cream and waffle cone. My wife had the sugar cone with brown butter bourbon ice cream and she loved it. We both went back the next day for another. If you are in Lake Placid you really should try Emma's.

Great I've cream scoops for the family. Only 4 stars on food as my strawberry malt milk shake was more like flavor milk than a thick milk shake should. Way to thin needed more ice or ice cream.

There's so much going on in this tiny little shop! Very patient staff helped us figure out what we wanted, we were overwhelmed with the options. Can't wait to go back and try more of their creations.

What a cool ice cream place. Me and some friends just stopped by here. They have an assortment of different ice creams and some candies and other goodies as well. Definitely glad I stopped by here. And the ice cream tasted great.

Hit this spot today on our last day of vacation and soooo glad we did! A wonderfull woman with a great friendly personality served us. All I can say is, if you have a hard time making up your mind, this place still not make it any easier! Me, My wife and our doggie all enjoyed. Maple sunday's for life!!!!

Very good icecream options...lot of crowd...less space.Nice cone options also....

Maple milkshake was so so good! It was creamy with the slightly sweet maple taste. Loved it. Also tried a passion fruit drink and a hot cocoa. My only complain is hot cocoa was not that hot. But it tasted great!
They take only a limited number of people inside due to social distancing. But the line goes fast.

Very busy and popular ice cream shop. Line moved quickly though and when you get inside it feels like you’re a kid in a candy shop, so many options!! Moose tracks was super rich and creamy, so satisfying.

Hands down the best ice cream in the area. There are so many choices. I decided to get the Maple Monkey Sundae since the maple ice cream is something different. The sundae was wonderful.

Delicious ice cream! Fast service, even when busy. We have not been disappointed yet!

Emma's came highly recommended by friends who have been to Lake Placid, and I was so happy to see that they had vegan options! The dole whip is vegan, and they had three flavours when we visited. We went with cherry and it was delicious!

OMG, this place is over the top amazing. Didn’t get a chance to try to boozy ice cream but will try for it on the next visit.

Delicious ice cream with humongous servings ! The place was packed when we went, but they did their best to only allow a couple parties in at a time and the line moved fairly fast. Even in the winter people are lining down the sidewalk to enjoy ice cream from here ! If you're looking for an extra treat this oreo milkshake did not let me down!
